England chords by Ed Sheeran

♫ Intro:

B

♫ Verse 1:
       B                  C
It is opening day and a brand new start
      Gm                                 C
The stores are bein' cleared around the fishermen's huts
         B                            C                      B   C
And the air bites the leaves, almost invisible cuts on the skin
    B                        C
A lighthouse retired, but a new one was hired
        B                              C
About twenty foot taller, painted in black and white
         B                        C                     B   C
Twenty million steps with a computer inside instead of him

♫ Chorus:
      B    B    C            B      C    Gm
Only one road sign telling cars to slow down
       B        C            B
And a long drop in the ocean
       B       B  C             B         C     Gm
Beware of the riptide, broken glass and train rides
        B           C              B
It's a new day and this is England

♫ Verse 2:
             B                                  C
Next to the park with the flag that's workin' flexible hours
                   B                                C
'Cause there's a mismatch of carriages sorted in a boat of sunflowers
        B                                    C                  B  C
Fairy lights on a building that's supplyin' us power from the sea
      B                            C
Electricity lines flow like veins to the town
        B                                   C
In-between, there is nothing but grass and pebbles on the ground
        B                          C                         B   C
Do not enter the wild here if you want to be found for the free

♫ Chorus:
          B      B   C          B       C   Gm
View the famous sunrise cut in half by the sky
         B     C           B
And the empty of the desert
          B           B   C            B      C   Gm
Team of birds that swerve by and the land of the wise
        B            C             B
It's a new day and this is England

♫ Bridge:
           Cm                      B
When it's time to escape from the heavy abyss
          B                     C
There is nothin' like washin' away
             Cm                       B
I find this country of mine get some bad reputation
     B             C
Of being cold and grey
            Cm                         B
But on the coast of this south to the east followed ground
          B                 C
I find serenity I've never felt
           Cm                         B
There's a peace, enough quiet in the silent bars
               B                    C
That can't be mirrored by anywhere else

♫ Verse 3:
           B                             C
Homes protruding from stones with their wood coloured black
           B                            C
Scattered cars in a line, steam risin' out the shaft
      B                               C                         B  C
One door at the front and then just glass at the back for the view

♫ Chorus:
         B      B    C                   B         C    Gm
And the blue is so bright, you'll need shades for your eyes
          B   C            B
And the cable to pull over
        B        B     C           B        C   Gm
Take a walk and feel light, everything will be fine
        B            C             B
It's a new day and this is England
